H1N1 is soooo last month

Guess the Chinese didn't get the memo that Swine Flu is soooo last month (Right, Mike!). First it was the Mexicans, which I briefly discussed in an earlier post, now they're quarantining American middleschoolers. When will the madness end?

SARS versus Swine Flu - China's Attempts to Contain Potential Pandemics

The Chinese just can't get it right. SARS was a huge issue because they tried to suppress it for so long and tried to keep it out of the eye of the international media. So now it seems that they are trying to make up with overarching measures to contain the spread of swine flu by quarantining dozens of innocent and healthy Mexicans in China. But their actions are unnecessary and discriminatory and flirt with the line that marks what is just simply racist.

F.Y.I: I realize this post is much shorter than my other ones but I'm working on writing blerps, mini-blog posts commenting on different websites, which means I have learn how to not ramble in posts like I usually do.
